But then, even from far away, Dan Hyunwoo heard some voices. It was the people chasing Jo Seolyeon. Immediately he stood up and told his new father that he would be back soon. Before anyone could react, he disappeared using his movement art.
Meanwhile the Black Viper members had finally caught up to Jo Seolyeon. They completely surrounded her and started mocking her, asking if that movement technique was all she had to show as the leader of an escort agency. Then one of the men rushed forward to attack her.
But the moment his palm was about to hit Jo Seolyeon, a powerful energy burst out and instantly repelled the attack. He shouted, asking what the hell that was. At that moment Seolyeon finally realized what Dan Hyunwoo had done when he placed his palm on her head. He had left a protective energy inside her body.
Only then did those Black Viper bastards decide to stop holding back and draw their swords. Seolyeon was unarmed now, and she also knew she could not defeat all of them with martial arts alone. Even so, she decided that if she was going to die there, at least it would not be in a cowardly way.
But before she could do anything, Dan Hyunwoo appeared right on time. He grabbed the sword of the first man who tried to attack Seolyeon and crushed the blade into countless tiny fragments. Right after that an electric discharge surged through the man's body, knocking him down instantly.
Dan Hyunwoo asked her what she was trying to do. Did she really intend to fight all of them like that? Seolyeon realized that she truly had not been thinking clearly. The strangest part was that the moment she thought about him, he had simply appeared. Dan Hyunwoo asked if she had been about to die. Was that it?
Meanwhile several Black Viper members started whispering among themselves, saying they thought they would finally be able to catch that girl after the protective energy disappeared. Then they looked at Dan Hyunwoo and asked if he was the bastard responsible for all of that.
Dan Hyunwoo immediately understood the situation, but before anything else he told Jo Seolyeon never to do something like that again. He told her never to give herself up so easily like that. She answered that she understood.
But the Black Viper men started provoking him, asking if he was not afraid of the organization. At that instant Seolyeon saw something she had never seen before on Dan Hyunwoo's face. Pure fury.
He then reversed his sword and slashed the ground, but not toward the enemies. The strike raised several gigantic stone spikes that pierced through the bodies of the cowardly Black Viper members. Seolyeon was completely terrified, unable to understand what the hell was happening. The entire ground was vibrating and seemed to be chasing the enemies. Then an enormous earth dragon emerged, devouring the Black Viper veteran.
Dan Hyunwoo explained to Seolyeon that this was the second form of the Three Energies Sword art. The Earth Dragon. After that he told her to leave the rest to him, because he still had not finished eating.
In the end, after all that chaos, the feast filled with drinks finally happened. The atmosphere inside the Ak clan was light and peaceful. But there was one person who could not relax in that situation.
Yan Baek, who was extremely meticulous and calculating, was also responsible for managing the affairs of the Ak clan estate. The problem was that Dan Hyunwoo had disappeared in the middle of the celebration, and that made him worried. He knew very well that the Black Viper could attack at any moment, and he still had no idea how strong that boy truly was.
Ak Biwan said he understood his concern, but asked who told him to worry so much. However, Yan Baek replied that the Black Viper was the most cowardly and vicious group in existence. He had even begun suspecting that those people might have infiltrated the clan from the very beginning, simply waiting for the perfect opportunity to gain the clan leader's trust. And now would be the perfect moment for a surprise attack.
And indeed, the White Moon Corps of the Black Viper was already advancing toward the Ak clan estate. But Dan Hyunwoo appeared once again and said that those bastards would never even make it there. Right after that, the leader of the White Moon Corps was struck by lightning. Dan Hyunwoo declared that he would not allow anyone to ruin his father's mood.
As he charged toward the enemies, Jo Seolyeon watched the entire scene and thought to herself that he truly had a father now.
Dan Hyunwoo fought like a living storm. One of the mansion guards witnessed the entire battle up close and swore that he looked like a demon in combat. The guard then ran desperately to inform the clan that the Black Viper headquarters forces were invading the estate. Ak Wong and Yan Baek immediately replied that they had already expected that. Meanwhile Ak Biwan ordered someone to bring him his sword at once. He even began purifying the alcohol from his body so he could fight properly.
But the guard interrupted him, saying there was no need. According to him, the invaders really had arrived, but someone had already wiped them all out. A demon. The guard said it was a true demon that massacred every single Black Viper member.
Meanwhile Dan Hyunwoo was already silently teleporting back to his seat at the feast. Nobody noticed anything.
Ak Biwan then asked the guard if he was drunk. What did he mean by a demon? But the guard insisted it was true. He had seen something that looked like a demon exterminating everyone. When the guard pointed toward the person responsible, Ak Biwan became irritated and asked if he was calling him a demon. Desperate, the guard replied that he was not, then pointed behind him instead.
That was when Dan Hyunwoo calmly appeared and said, "I'm back, father."
Meanwhile, at the scene of the Black Viper massacre, a man questioned whether that squad had really been sent to deal with the Great Heaven Gate. If so, then why was everyone dead there? Danwal replied that the men had been seen chasing a girl at a tavern in Chengdu. After hearing that, the leader ordered everyone to find that girl immediately.
However, another man interrupted, saying that before anything else the sect leader believed they should first be informed that both the White Moon Corps and the Black Moon Corps had also been completely annihilated. Upon hearing that, the leader flew into a rage and ordered them to recover the remains of the Blue Moon Squad. For now, everyone would return to base. But before that, he wanted all the thunderbombs gathered together, because now they were going to erase the Ak clan from existence.
